Global strain-induced scalar potential in graphene devices

The electrical and optical properties of a material depend strongly on the details of its crystal structure. Here, the authors report a technique to mechanically deform the lattice of monolayer graphene with strain, and electrically detect the generation of a scalar potential that modifies the graph...
